Complete your Ghana arrival card online

One declaration covers one arrival: one arrival date and one flight. The portal states no validity period.

We saw no function to edit a submitted declaration. The portal only lets you retrieve the receipt again.

The declaration does not decide how long you may stay in Ghana. That depends on your visa and on the immigration rules that apply to you.

The official sources say to complete the form before travel, before you arrive in Ghana. No earliest time is stated, and the form only refuses an arrival date in the past. The latest moment is before the Port Health counter on arrival.

The portal issues the QR code as soon as the form is submitted. After we submit your form, we send the QR code to the email address given in your order.

The Ghana Health Declaration is an electronic health declaration form for passengers arriving in Ghana. It is issued by the Port Health Department of the Ghana Health Service, with the Ministry of Health.

The declaration is new and tied to a current Ebola outbreak. The Ghana Health Service trained its airport staff on the form at the end of October 2026, and a Ministry of Health statement of November 3, 2026 made it a requirement for passengers to complete the form before travel. The official portal describes it as "Mandatory for all arriving passengers", and the UK government's travel advice says that international travelers must complete it online before travel.

The measure is under review. Ghana's Information Services Department says that the measures are precautionary and will be reviewed as the outbreak situation develops. No end date is given. The declaration may change or be withdrawn at short notice, so check the official portal shortly before you fly.

The form can also be completed on arrival. The Ghana Health Service reported that arriving passengers were guided to scan a QR code and complete it at the airport, and the form says to complete it before you reach the Port Health counter.

The official sources name all arriving passengers, and the form accepts every nationality. Each passenger has a declaration of their own. The form says that a parent or guardian completes it for a child under 12.

The declaration covers arrival only. The official statements refer to the international airports. On November 9, 2026 the form listed only Accra International Airport as a point of entry.

1. Passenger information: names as shown on your travel document, sex, date of birth, nationality, profession, identity document, phone number and an optional email address.
2. Travel information: mode and point of entry, arrival date, flight number, country of departure, and the countries visited and transited in the last 21 days.
3. Health screening: current symptoms, possible exposure to Ebola, travel through affected areas, and current medication.
4. Accommodation: hotel or private residence, full address in Ghana, region, and the emergency contacts.
5. Declaration: review your answers, accept the declaration and the privacy notice, and sign by typing your full name.

The form warns that false information, hiding symptoms or refusing public health instructions may lead to measures under Ghana's Public Health Act, 2012 (Act 851).

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Leaving out transit countries: the form asks for every country passed through in the last 21 days, even for a short airport transfer
• A phone number that does not work in Ghana: Port Health may use it to contact you within 21 days
• Not saving the QR code: it is shown to the Port Health officer on arrival
• Assuming the rules are permanent: the declaration is tied to the outbreak and under review
